E.Gas tube opening

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a

surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition

and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover

and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the

"General Cleaning" section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube

opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil

and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other

material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers

by always using a burner cap.

_, v ,, L

A. 1- 1V," (25-38 ram)

B. Burner ports

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size

and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not

yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,

cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

A. Incorrect

B. Correct

5. Turn on the burner. Ifthe burner does not light, check cap

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the

sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface

burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently

used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the grate.

• Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

• For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning

products can also offer assistance.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a

well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and

copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,

when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the

cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is afactor in how quickly and evenly heat is

transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has

the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the

properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the

broiler.

certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-

ventilated room.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain

finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or

bottom.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven

temperature because opening the oven door and element or

burner cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook

faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature

calibration can be adjusted.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed

amount. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by

the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow

2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the

following chart as a guide.

NUMBEROF POSITION ON RACK

PAN(S)

1 Center of rack.

2 Side by side or slightly staggered.

3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure

that no bakeware piece is directly over

another.

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,

liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the

oven bottom finish.

• On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover

the oven bottom vents.

• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to

move freely for best cooking results.

• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is

at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned

up at the edges.

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow

manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size

recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

BAKEWARE/RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS

Ovenproof glassware,

ceramic glass or

ceramic

• Brown, crisp crusts

• May need to reduce baking

temperatures 25°F (15°C).

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat

thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish.

The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to

determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with

this appliance.

• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion

of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the

thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat

1/2"(1.3 cm) more and read again. Ifthe temperature drops,

cook the meat or poultry longer.

• Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and

should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven

vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and

cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that

could melt or burn near the oven vent.

IMPORTANT: Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven

door or the oven bottom.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the

"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Touch BAKE.

Touch TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a temperature

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the

temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control

when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the

cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish

and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some

models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid

spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler

pan, one may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service"

section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier

cleaning.

• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very

thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated

oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is

not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless

recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler

pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

3. Press START/ENTER.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

BROILING CHART

For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil

burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted

for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered

from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the

"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.

RANGE CARE

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to

the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to

the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds

to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil

results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to

help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air

must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see

"Oven Vent" or "Oven Vents" section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The

door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,

on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,

damaging the oven.

• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.

See "General Cleaning" section for more information.

Hand clean inside door edge and the 1V2" (3.8 cm) area

around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to

move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough

during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,

etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this

area.

Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.

At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,

etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not

affect cooking performance.

Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:

• Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may

melt.

• Remove all items from the storage drawer.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the

oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and

popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil

to a powdery ash.

The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but

the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are

2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes

and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp

cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven

has completely cooled down. Applying a cool, damp cloth to the

inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in

the glass breaking.

The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To Self-Clean:

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or

it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

f. PressAUTO CLEAN.

2. Press the TEMP/TIME "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a

clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can

be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.

3. Press START/ENTER.

The oven door will automatically lock. The ON and DOOR

LOCKED oven indicator lights will light up. The door will not

unlock until the oven cools.

When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, "End" will

appear on the oven display and the oven indicator lights will

go off.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the oven display.

To Stop Self-Clean anytime:

Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door

will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions

on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless

otherwise noted.
